Residential O&M

With technicians strategically located across the nation and superior route density, SST can provide quick turnaround on work orders at competitive rates.

Solving the Long-Term Service Issue

Without the ability to ensure long-term maintenance services for customers and their financed solar systems, solar finance providers are putting the long term financial health of their portfolios at risk. Many finance providers rely on solar installers to provide ongoing service to their system owners. However, this is not a reliable practice for three main reasons:

When a system underperforms, customers are saddled with the unexpected costs of higher utility bills and system repairs in addition to their loan payment for a dysfunctional system. These factors significantly increase the likelihood of late payments or default.

1

In the rapidly changing solar industry, many installers will not stay in business long enough to fulfill installation service obligations.

2

Most installers do not have a dedicated service department and are therefore have neither the capacity nor the expertise required to respond to maintenance issues in a timely manner.

3

Many residential service calls are not the result of workmanship defects and therefore are not covered under installation workmanship warranties.

Extended Service Plan

SunSystem Technology has created the Extended Service Plan (ESP) for a solar industry that has seen the market switch from leases and PPA’s to cash and loan sales. Homeowners are wanting a higher level of service than most installers can provide. ESP is a financeable long-term service agreement with SST and the homeowner.

Active Monitoring

Long-Term O&M costs have become an increasingly substantial portion of the overall cost of residential solar installations. The key to reducing those costs is data sharing. Combining field data and meter data drives efficiencies in Operations and Maintenance which can significantly reduce diagnostics, troubleshooting and issue resolution expenses.
